Only thing cheap about a Harmony Sovereign (besides the tuners)is the price. All solid 'hog and spruce (back is 1 piece 16" wide). I own an Airline 7032. That's a Monkey Wards Sovereign. Needed a neck re-set when I found it. Gave the job to the late great Jim Hurley in Candler Florida. He made that fat neck guitar play like butter. That one cured my GAS till my brother got hold of it. He likes it so much I'm letting him keep it indefinitely. I understand why Jimmy Page used one. Fat, rich, woody, ladder braced tone.
